Steering Committee Ground Rules
The original Interlocal Agreement and Ground Rules for the Steering Committee have not been
updated since 2011. For this reason, both are being updated and now the Ground Rules are
separate from the Interlocal Agreement. Here is what needs to be updated in the Ground Rules:
●
Outdated language and organization names
●
Some procedural adjustments
●
The Ground Rules Doc
For homework, please review the Ground Rules and new revisions. Next meeting we will
finalize the new Ground Rules.

Funding for this effort is provided through a federal Clean Water Act nonpoint source grant administered by the
